ORIGINAL
1 THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac, And Isaac begat Jacob. And Jacob begat Judas and his brethren:
3 And Judas begat Phares and Zaram of Thamar. And Phares begat Esron. And Esron begat Aram.
4 And Aram begat Aminadab. And Aminadab begat Naasson. And Naasson begat Salmon.
5 And Salmon begat Booz of Raab. And Booz begat Obed of Ruth. And Obed begat Jesse.
6 And Jesse begat David the King. And David the King begat Solomon of her that was the wife of Urias.
7 And Solomon begat Roboam. And Roboam begat Abia. And Abia begat Asa.
8 And Asa begat Josaphat. And Josaphat begat Joram. And Joram begat Ozias.
9 And Ozias begat Joatham. And Joatham begat Achaz. And Achaz begat Ezechias.
10 And Ezechias begat Manasses. And Manasses begat Amon. And Amon begat Josias.
11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren in the Transmigration of Babylon.
12 And after the Transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel. And Salathiel begat Zorobabel.
13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud. And Abiud begat Eliacim. And Eliacim begat Azor.
14 And Azor begat Sadoc. And Sadoc begat Achim. And Achim begat Ehud.
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar. And Eleazar begat Mathan. And Mathan begat Jacob.
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary: of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 Therefore all the generations from Abraham unto David, fourteen generations. And from David to the Transmigration of Babylon, fourteen generations. And from the Transmigration of Babylon unto Christ, fourteen generations.
18 And the generation of Christ was in this wise. When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Ghost.
19 Whereupon Joseph, for that he was a just man, and would not put her to open shame: was minded secretly to dismiss her.
20 But as he was thus thinking, behold the Angel of our Lord appeared to him in sleep saying: Joseph son of David, fear not to take Mary your wife, for that which is born in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and you shall call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins.
22 And all this was done that it might be fulfilled which our Lord spoke by the Prophet saying.
23 Behold a Virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the Angel of our Lord commanded him, and took his wife.
25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and called his name Jesus.

1 THE book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son
of David, the son of Abraham:
2 Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob
begot Judas and his brethren.
3 And Judas begot Phares and Zara of Thamar. And Phares
begot Esron. And Esron begot Aram.
4 And Aram begot Aminadab. And Aminadab begot Naasson.
And Naasson begot Salmon.
5 And Salmon begot Booz of Rahab. And Booz begot Obed
of Ruth. And Obed begot Jesse.
6 And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king
begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias.
7 And Solomon begot Roboam. And Roboam begot Abia. And
Abia begot Asa.
8 And Asa begot Josaphat. And Josaphat begot Joram. And
Joram begot Ozias.
9 And Ozias begot Joatham. And Joatham begot Achaz. And
Achaz begot Ezechias.
10 And Ezechias begot Manasses. And Manesses begot
Amon. And Amon begot Josias.
11 And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the
transmigration of Babylon.
12 And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias
begot Salathiel. And Salathiel begot Zorobabel.
13 And Zorobabel begot Abiud. And Abiud begot Eliacim.
And Eliacim begot Azor.
14 And Azor begot Sadoc. And Sadoc begot Achim. And
Achim begot Eliud.
15 And Eliud begot Eleazar. And Eleazar begot Mathan.
And Mathan begot Jacob.
16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of
whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are
fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are
fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are
fourteen generations.
18 Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When
as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was
found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and
not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold the
angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David,
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her,
is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call
his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled
which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:
23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring
forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted
is, God with us.
24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of
the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.
25
And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his
name JESUS.
